Hubber New Member 14 Member For: 5y 11m 25d Posted 19/04/20 11:51 AM Share Posted 19/04/20 11:51 AM I'm considering buying the 1400hp half shafts from the driveshaft shop. My Fg makes 814hp and I don't want to have to do the diff or half shafts again. I'm in a wheelchair and I need to be able to get in my car and have no issues. Has anybody used these or the 700hp versions, any and all recommendations would be really apreciated! Apologies if this topic has been covered but I couldn't find anything when I used the search.

k31th less WHY; more WOT Site Developer 28,999 Member For: 16y 7m 19d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 19/04/20 11:57 AM Share Posted 19/04/20 11:57 AM they're not exactly "tested" thoroughly as hardly anybody makes 1400hp and generally those who take their cars to the track to make the most use of grip along with high power levels like yours or higher take some replacement shafts to the track when they go.

Typhoon Member 564 Member For: 20y 2m 5d Gender: Male Posted 19/04/20 12:37 PM Share Posted 19/04/20 12:37 PM RIPSS runs them she makes 2000hp and run 7.7 @ 187mph tested enough. I have them, they are top quality, cant break them! Expensive to buy and install by the time you do trutrack and diff hat, bushs etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubber New Member 14 Member For: 5y 11m 25d Posted 20/04/20 08:59 AM Author Share Posted 20/04/20 08:59 AM How long has RIPSS used them for? I'm just thinking it will be cheaper in the long run, at the moment the standard ones are not lasting long and because I wasn't on to it straight away they have flogged out the diff bearings so it's going to have to be rebuilt again. Really hoping someone who has used them can give me some first hand info before I pull the trigger.. I just re-read what you wrote Typhoon! How much power you making mate??

Typhoon Member 564 Member For: 20y 2m 5d Gender: Male Posted 21/04/20 12:51 AM Share Posted 21/04/20 12:51 AM My hub dyno sheet reads 775kw No one has broken a set of 1400 shafts in Australia to my knowledge. RIPSS has run dozens of passes on hers and I’m pretty sure she has gone 1.3 in the 60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't changed at all, and bolt straight in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubber New Member 14 Member For: 5y 11m 25d Posted 22/04/20 12:01 AM Author Share Posted 22/04/20 12:01 AM I read that somewhere aswell, the price difference is only $300 so I think I'm just going to get the 1400hp ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
